I am changing from TPI to carb. What has everyone done with the extra wires? I plan on taking out what I dont need.

I want to see what everyone has done.

Post pics and list your setup (carb, intake, air filter)

thanks.

 

I went from a CC Carb to a non-CC carb and removed my old computer and cut the old harness out.
I did have to wire my VSS wires from the tranny to the VSS buffer since I accidentally cut them off since the speedo wires were in that harness I cut.

Edelbrock 7101 Intake,
Edelbrock 1406 Carb
Edelbrock drop base air cleaner



I then went to TPI, but that is another story.

 

Yeah, Im going carb for racing. It wont be a daily driver.

Nice looking setup. Hows the new motor comming???????


Keep pic comming guys. This is just the info I need.

thanks Zepher.

 

Here are mine:

 

Motors coming along slowly, but surely.
Going to drop it in this week just to clear up space in the garage since another LT1/4L60E is on it's way to my house to be installed in my friends 82.

 

How is the alternator mounted. I kinda like that setup. Can you tell me more about it? Nice and neat engine bay. Only what you need. I like that.

 

Good luck on the install.

 

Here is my swap when it was partially done.

 

Thanks, I am going to need it.
This is going to be the first time that I put a motor in.

 

Didnt you pull the other one out? Its just reverse procedure.

The hardest part it hooking back up the wiring, which is not to bad if you marked it. When I put my tpi in, I plugged everything in on the motor, then set the motor in. Then everything else went to the fire wall or light, or other accessories like the wiper motor.

Just take your time and you will be ok. keep a good haynes or chilton close and some good help.
